Employee recruitment, training and retention is a big investment. When an employee is injured, your investment is at risk! The expensive results can be:
a serious drop in morale |
lack of confidence in leadership |
loss of production |
loss of quality |
loss of profits |
increased insurance rates |
These increased negative results are only the tip of the iceberg. Accidents, injuries and deaths result in far greater losses — on the home front, with the company's public image, with future employee recruitment efforts, and more!
Ask yourself—
is the overall safety climate of my organization a time bomb?
